About 'All Up in the Biz'
“All Up in the Biz” will have interviews with musicians and friends of Markie’s, like Tracy Morgan, Fat Joe, and Nick Cannon, all showcasing Markie’s tales of triumph. A true underdog story, Markie created a new kind of hip-hop with his cheeky sense of humor and iconic beatboxing skills while dealing with the death of his mother and living in foster care.
Hailing from Long Island, Markie was known for his funny and relatable lines and made a name for himself with his swift skills. “All Up in the Biz” shows the hip-hop legends he went on to inspire, like Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, and De La Soul, who all went on to be big names in the industry themselves.
Directed by Sacha Jenkins, this is the fifth documentary she’s released for Showtime. Growing up in the ’80s in New York City, Jenkins’ love of hip-hop also inspired her other works like “Louis Armstrong’s Black and Blues,” “Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men,” “Bitchin’: The Sound and Fury of Rick James,” “Burn Mother F*cker, Burn!” and “Word is Bond.”
